The principal charge against the three Atlanta officials, as contained in a report submitted to the Postmas ter General by the chief inspector's office, is inefficiency, resulting in a chaotic condition of afTairs in the of fice.

My subordinates all report daily to me, and every complaint registered in this office is brought to my personal at tention. I have instructed all clerks and officials to bring people to my of fice w ho have a grievance. “The reason I have ali men under me report so regularly is because 1 am held responsible for each man, and I realize that it is solely up to me to see that each man does his duty.” Citizens Approve Pryor Street Work South Pryor street property own ers met at the McCord Grocery Store, Georgia avenue and Pryor street, Thursday night and adopted the plans of the city engineer for widening, grading and underpass work.

LOUISVILLE, KT, July 25.— Thieves whb traveled In an auto dy namited the postofflee safe at Cres- vtood, Ky.. and fled with J400. Despite Judge’s Statement All Is in Readiness, Move for Post ponement Is Expected. 9 Do You Know the Fastest Run Made by a Railroad Train? See Page ll Despite the fact that Superior Judge L. S Roan stated everything was in readiness for the trial of Leo M. F*rank next Monday, that State’s At torney Hugh M. Dorsey has an nounced he will fight a delay, and that the defense actually commenced sum moning witnesses, the impression still prevailed Friday that a motion for continuance would be made by the defense when the case is opened. Attorneys Luther Rosser and Reu ben R. Arnold declined fiatly to say whether they would permit the trial to proceed without introducing some motion for a postponement, and the report was that witnesses had been summoned to be on the safe side in the event a request to put off the trial is refused. Frank Is Ready. The accused man was in the best of health and spirits, according to an announcement from the Tower Fri day, and was anxious that the case go to trial. His illness would be the best ground upon which to secure a de lay, but the inability of any one of the more material witnesses to come into court would more than likely be considered a sufficient legal reason. Judge Roan considered it highly im probable that the case would be put off on account of his indisposition. He said that he was in the best of health, and that if any continuance were se cured it would be at the request of the State's attorney or the counsel for the accused man. “I had a slight attack of indiges tion Wednesday night,” he said, “but I was all right Thursday morning and opened court at Covington. I dis posed of three murder trials before noon, and left for Atlanta at 12:30 in the afternoon. Judge to Require Good Reason. “To the best of my knowledge the trial of Leo M. Frank will begin nexi Monday. The only possibility of post ponement would be some very good and sufficient legal reason for a con tinuance advanced by the State or the defense. During the eleven years I have been on the bench I have never postponed a trial on account of being ill, and I will not consider any per sonal inconvenience next Monday. “The reason in not drawing the jury earlier was to guard against several of the veniremen leaving the city rather than to serve. “The date set was In the nature of an agreement, anu X would imagine both sides were ready and willing for the trial to go on.” The weather will not play any part in securing a postponement unless the mercury registers 99 degrees or higher. Judge Roan said that v, e laughingly remarked last Saturday that if the temperature was as high next Monday as it was then he would be glad to continue the case. He said that he had not considered such a proposition seriously, but if it got so hot as to be .extremely uncomfortable, he might consider a postponement. Special deputies were sworn In Fri day morning to begin serving the 144 veniremen whose r.ames were drawn Thursday afternoon by Judge John T. Pendleton. It will be late Saturday evening before the last man can e served, accordin'* to Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner, who had charge of the extra men. The fact that the Jury aetualh- was drawn and sever:.! had been served Friday morning and that the State's witnesses were already under aub- pena to be at the courtroom Mon day morning was the strongest assur ance that the tri*J would actually begin.
